When Should You Renew Your License?
In Bangladesh, a permanent driving license must be renewed before the expiry date printed on the card. Renewing on time helps you avoid fines, legal trouble during traffic checks, and problems with vehicle insurance claims.
You should start the process at least 1–2 months before expiry, especially if you need a medical fitness certificate or live outside your BRTA zone.
If the license has already expired, you can usually still renew — but late fees or extra verification may apply depending on how long it has been overdue. Always check the latest BRTA notice.

Documents Required for Renewal
Keep these ready:
• Original driving license (even if expired)
• Valid NID Smart Card
• Recent passport-size photographs
• Medical fitness certificate from a registered doctor (often mandatory for renewal)
• Blood group report (if requested)
• Fee payment slip / online payment confirmation
• Mobile number for SMS updates
If your address or name changed, update related records first so BRTA data matches your NID.

Fees and Practical Tips
Renewal fees depend on license type (amateur, professional, motorcycle) and duration. Confirm the current fee chart on the BRTA portal before paying — amounts change over time.
Helpful tips:
• Do not drive with a clearly expired license expecting renewal later
• Keep a photocopy and clear phone photo of both sides of your license
• If you renewed but the card is delayed, carry the payment slip and application printout during checks when possible
• For professional licenses, requirements can be stricter — prepare early
• Avoid brokers; use only official BRTA channels
A renewed license protects both your legal status on the road and your ability to rent or insure vehicles smoothly.
